“MISSION: The Seattle Bach Festival serves the Seattle area with great performances of the masterworks of JS Bach and pearls of barogue. From large scale works like Oratorios, Cantatas and Passions to the chamber.Fundraising and Friend-Raising Activities: The organization conducted a series of targeted, intimate house concert fundraisers and outreach events. These events served the dual purpose of generating foundational financial support for the 2025 concert season and expanding the orgnanizations patron base (friend-raising). These gatherings introduced key stakeholders to the organizations artistic vision and fostered personal connections crucial for long-term community engagement.Community Outreach and Education: To build public awareness and appreciation for the festivals focus, the organization hosted several public outreach events, including community movie screenings of the documentary film Living Bach. This educational initiative served as a cost-effective method to engage new audiences, generate enthusiasm for J.S. Bachs life and work, and convert casual attendees into future concert patrons and donors, thereby directly supporting the mission of promoting Baroque music.Administrative and Artistic Planning: Dedicated time was spent on essential artistic planning, including securing venues, contracting musicians, and curating concert programs for inaugural 2025 concert series. Administrative efforts were focused on building organizational infrastructure, developing marketing materials, and formalizing donor recognition tiers necessary for the successful and compliant execution of the future program services.”
